 Steps to reproduce:

 1) Run opkg update to re-load the list of updated packages
 2) Run opkg -noaction upgrade and verofy that packages are being
 downloaded from the web

 Expected behaviour:
 - Getting a list of downloads

 Reason:
 Sometimes (often!) my Mac crashes when the FreeRunner pulls lots of data
 via the internet connection. Copying (scp) from the Mac works better. I'd
 like to get a list of packages to download to manually copy them to the FR
 and 'opkg install' them.
